Western Centuries To Release CALL THE CAPTAIN

In an age when independence is idolized and every person seems to be seeking their own lone wolf career path, Seattle-based roots band Western Centuries believe that the way forward is better together. Collaboration, inspiration and mutual admiration are what Cahalen Morrison, Ethan Lawton, and Jim Miller cite as the heart of their project. Western Centuries are set to release their third album, Call the Captain—a tongue-in-cheek reference to the band's lack of hierarchy—on April 3rd via Free Dirt Records. Yesterday, Billboard premiered “Heart Broke Syndrome,” the album's first single and one of the two tracks on Call the Captain which include guest vocals from the King of Broken Hearts himself, Nashville songwriter and entertainer, Jim Lauderdale. “This song, written for a close friend, talks about the recovery process when the sudden loss of someone innocent and dear brings on grief so severe that it induces physical symptoms requiring medical attention,” says Miller, a founding member of roots-jam band Donna The Buffalo and lead vocalist on “Heart Broke Syndrome.” “The last verse tries to project some hope; that our community of family and friends can help provide strength to get through the dark time.” Fans can hear “Heart Broke Syndrome” here and pre-order Call the Captain here.

Lola Kirke Announces 'Friends And Foes And Friends Again,' a 5 Track EP Of Duets

Lola Kirke will release a five song EP of country duets - Friends And Foes And Friends Again - on Downtown, September 13, 2019. Today's announcement includes the first track taken from the record, the self-penned “Mama” - featuring Kelly Zutrau - replete with music video directed by Lola's older sister, Jemima Kirke. Jemima spoke of the video saying, “It's a perversion of mine to want to see People in their private moments. I would've loved to have her be defecating on the toilet but decided ravenous eating was just as good, just as grotesquely human. This story is about a character of stature and prestige, whose life is all about appearances, engaging in an act that puts her on the level with everyone else. And then, the relief (and the horror) that comes from that.”

Set at an all boys' school in the early 1950's, the show tackles the fear, insecurity and the eventual anger that people under persecution face. The teenage boys attending the school are written with an amped jocular rambunctiousness.
